Palace Concubine Policy: Invincible Queen

Chapter 247: Surviving a Catastrophe (20)
"Since Liu Tutou called on all the households in the city to take out the surplus grain, there is a lot of grain in storage, but everyone says that the grain can't last for a few days. Besides, the rice grain and medicinal materials are so expensive, and everyone wants to save some grain. Ask Liu Tutou to change the medicine, so that the patient can continue to take the medicine." The steward replied respectfully.

After hearing this, Dong Xiaowan held back her tears and said, "Folks don't have to do this! You have to eat this meal. If you are hungry, your body's resistance will be weakened, and you will be easily infected with the plague. This is not worth the candle." , you don’t want to make everyone hungry just to save a little bit of rice. Liu Butou and I are trying to figure out a way, so don’t worry the folks too much. Difficulties will always pass, as long as everyone can work together, we will definitely We can get through this difficulty! Go and add some rice to the pot! Don’t say that the sick need to supplement nutrition, and those who work should also replenish their physical strength, so that they can better deal with the plague god.”

"Yes! I'll go right away! That's right! This is the money that everyone pooled together. Although it's not much, it's also a contribution from everyone. I ask Mr. Murong to accept it and buy medicine for those sick folks!" After speaking, the steward handed over a pack of copper plates wrapped in white cloth to Dong Xiaowan.

Dong Xiaowan accepted it with tears in his eyes, and said, "Tell the folks, I will definitely do my best to treat the patients, and I will definitely not let Taoyang County suffer the misfortune of massacring the city."

"Then, on behalf of the folks in Taoyang County, I would like to thank Mr. Murong." The steward knelt down after speaking.

Dong Xiaowan quickly helped him up and said, "Don't do this to you. This is our responsibility as doctors."

Dong Xiaowan returned to Liu Butou's house, thinking about the people in the city, feeling restless, but didn't know what to do.She thought about it, and the illness of the people made her burn.

As soon as she saw Liu Butou coming back, she went up to meet him and asked, "Liu Butou, have you thought of any way?"

Liu Butou said with an angry face: "I asked that dog county magistrate to try to help us get some medicinal materials. Not only did the dog county magistrate not help, but he also said that the city would be slaughtered anyway, so why bother?"

"Liu Butou, don't be so idle, let's solve the urgent needs of the city first! The medicinal materials in this city are getting less and less day by day. Although some people stop taking the medicine, some people have seizures again after stopping the medicine. The food has been collected, but if things go on like this, it won’t last for many days. We still have to think of ways!” Dong Xiaowan frowned.

"Young master is right! Although the people in the city raised money spontaneously, there are too many sick people in this city, so a little money is useless." Liu Butou also had a sad face.

Dong Xiaowan thought for a long time, then took out the ruby ​​bracelet and some small jade wares from the palace, put them on the table, pushed them in front of Liu Butou and said, "Liu Butou, take these things with you." Go pawn it, and then exchange it with medicinal materials and food and send it to the city. After all, the city cannot live without medicine or food for a day.”

"These things are so valuable, how can I accept them, besides, Mr. Murong has given out so much silver taels to help the people of Taoyang County, and now... you should take them back, Mr. Liu!" Liu Butou pushed those things back to Dong Xiaowan in front of.
